Safer and more efficient transport
Deliver a safer and more efficient transit option than cars on the Pacific island of Honolulu. Create a railway that better balances Hawaii’s delicate environment and addresses significant congestion issues.
There's a saying here in Honolulu: 'Great men plant trees that they know they will never sit under the shade of.' This is what the rail project is about. It will positively affect future generations for years to come.
